Re: Keeping cards from bumping into each other with no case?

L shaped aluminum strip, Drill holes .8" apart (so 1.6" for a double) make sure to get the distance from the edge right, I used some spacers from my case to mark the distance.  

It looks like this: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7216.msg178870#msg178870

Is there anything supporting those cards upright from the table or is it just a single L bracket along the top of the card brackets?  I'm just wondering if you are still letting them be supported vertically by the slot, or if you have something else.

Just the single L bracket along the top of the cards, with all the cards screwed to it it's very sturdy. I was having issues with the first card moving too much in the PCI-E slot, the others not so much, but GPU3/4 the screws in the rear of the cards were touching the fans of the card behind it till I put in some foam spacers as a temp fix. Now with the bracket its 1000x more stable.

I thought I knew which board that was, but I can't seem to find it right now. Another one you might consider is this one.

What I really want to know is, how do you secure the fan on top of the video cards? Surely it isn't just lying there?!?

Yes its just laying there on top Smiley

And it doesn't move around and eventually fall off?

No not at all surprisingly, its been like that for 2 days now no issues.
